Considered a healing resource by many, gemstones can help you live your best life by protecting you from unwanted influences. They become a lifelong tool that allows you to direct and deflect any energy that might cause you harm or misdirection. At the same time, they enhance the energies that can help lead you down a more positive path.

How Do Gemstones “Protect” Me?

Naturally made stones each vibrate at a frequency that can be used to attune the body, the chakras, and your aura so you can have a safer and more productive life. Protection comes in many forms: we can protect ourselves from attack, from misfortune, from others, or even from ourselves. All of these are related to vibrational energies that are affected by gemstones. Knowing which stones affect what kinds of energy gives you a powerful way to keep your life from becoming derailed by unwanted energy.

Selecting Healing Crystals for Protection

The nice thing about using gemstones for protection is that different stones can be combined for an accumulative effect. Or you can concentrate on the use of a single stone to amplify the effect in one area of your life. Here are some of the areas where you may want protection and the stones that can help guide you.
